It's all about twisting the cables and the string. Do you have the owner's manual? If not, you can generally download one from the manufacturer's website. Don't depend on the cams being properly timed with the old string. There should be an illustration in the manual that shows what the cams should look like when they are properly timed. There are also specs for Axle to Axle and Brace Height. This is all accomplished bycarefully twisting the corresponding cables to rotate the cams; and is generally best left to an experienced pro shop tuner unless you are particularly adept at this sort of thing.

First thing you should do is match the string and cable lengths with the ones you took off. Better yet, get the actual lengths from the mfg. I have yet to recieve a set of strings or cables which were within .25" of what they said they was under 100lbs of pressure. .25" too long, no sweat, just add twist. Too short and you got an issue.

I believe.....this is without looking at my X-Force......I believe that the Bottom Cam is Supposed to hit the Drawstop just a (Very Fine hair) before the Top cam I'll check later on mine and let you know!!
